Pop-up blocker is too sensitive. How do I adjust it?
Almost every time I open a new window, a little toolbar pops up that tells me ,"Foxfire " has blocked this site! It gives me the option to "ALLOW". When I click on "ALLOW" , the site will open. I have not adjusted the pop-up blocker to make it so sensitive, but need to know how to back it down some!!

The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Sorry, there's no "sensitivity" setting for popups. You need to set an exception for the web sites you want to allow to open pop-up windows.

This isn`t acceptable!! I tried listing "exceptions" and it did not help!! If there is NO WAY to stop this annoyance, I will go back to Internet Explorer!! This is HORRIBLY ANNOYING to have to click on the "ALLOW" option EVERY TIME I OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!

Hi, I started having this problem all of a sudden, in exactly the same way. I used the first answer at the top in the green box, and it was immediately fixed! I got sidetracked for a moment in the path by 2 choices of 'general' but went right back to the right one and prob was SOLVED! Thanks corel!
